But fact is more interesting than fiction and something similar did happen in 1976. While filming an episode of The Million Dollar Man in a funhouse, a crew member bumped into a hanging corpse and knocked the arm off. When he noticed the arm had a bone inside it, he realized it was not a dummy. It turned out to be the body of an outlaw killed in 1911 after a train robber whose corpse had been used in sideshows for decades.
